Let the swishing commence!
Hailed as the latest fashion craze, clothes swapping is the eco-friendly way to be stylish.
This is definitely the time of year to get rid of all those impulse buys that have been sitting in your wardrobe unworn for months without feeling bad about it? Clothes swapping parties, known as swishing, are a fun way to walk away with a new outfit. Recycle all those unwanted clothes as well as having some good fun with your girlfriends.
You dig out those clothes that you′ve only worn once and then swap them for clothes and accessories you really do want. Sounds like a good deal.
The clothes swap scene is already big in New York and Sydney – now this craze is hitting the UK and Ireland.
How it works
It′s pretty simple to organise a swishing party. Everyone must bring at least one clean, good quality item of clothing. And remember do not bring anything you would not be happy to pick up in a swishing party yourself! It′s better to bring more because you are allowed to leave with as much kit as you′ve brought. vAny unwanted clothes at the end can be donated to charity. Nice and easy.
